LG's Dan Smith says that the economy has been positive, revenue and sales are up and new projects are being explored in the digital out-of-home industry.

The director of digital signage sales at LG — a manufacturer of digital signage products, from beginning to end — says a combination of industry growth, the economy, brand, technology in this 5-minute 46-second video from Digital Signage Expo 2012.

New technologies have created more value, he says; and the future's looking bright for entry-level users. Products continue to evolve — from smaller bezels, brighter screens and transparent displays.

Finally, education provided at the show is extremely valuable, he says. End-users are extremely well-qualified and knowledgeable, and innovators at DSE push the industry forward, he says.
